Ragnarok
Just started watching this series. It’s been here for quite some time I guess, but I just got the DVD. The series follows closely to the Dungeons and Dragons theme and is a great anime for RPG lovers. From towns to merchants to underground waterways to dungeons, with a vast number of monstrosities, this is another one of those ‘A’ class series that I would recommend.
Ragnarok Episode 1 – What is That Sword of Yours There For?
The series starts with a group of seasoned adventurers starting on a journey. Before they move off, they are attacked by a group of orcs. The next scene shows Yuufa, an acolyte, praying at her brother’s grave and Roan, an apprentice swordsman, urging her on. They reach the city of Prontera where there has been news that the orcs and other beasts are turning vicious and that they have been attacking adventurers. Roan and Yuufa gets lost in the city and finds a magician being robbed by a couple of thugs. Yuufa tries to stand up for the magician, and just as Roan gets enough courage to stand and fight, the Commander of the Prontera Knights, Elman turns up and scares the thugs away. To thank Yuufa and Roan for helping, Takius treats the couple to a meal at the local inn. The thugs, lead by their mistress, attempts to take revenge on the trio. They bring forth a twig and by breaking it, they summon an apparition, the Keeper of the Clock Tower to attack the trio. Takius urges Roan and Yuufa to defeat the apparition themselves. Roan distracts the Keeper while Takius prepares a Cold Bolt. Takius casts a Frost Diver and demobilizes the Keeper, but just as Roan attempts to strike it, the Keeper regains its movement and attacks Takius. Roan is also knocked down. With one more Cold Bolt, Takius attacks the Keeper and urges Roan to wake up. Roan steps up and wounds the Keeper, giving Takius sufficient time to cast a Lightning Bolt and thus defeating the Keeper before the Prontera Knights appear.
Ragnarok Episode 2 – Please Look After Me Kindly Onii-Chan
A Dark Elf is seen talking to a Golden Thief Bug in the underground waterways asking it to Rage in this realm as it wishes.
Roan tells Yuufa of Thief Bugs multiplying in the underground waterways causing water supply to the city to be cut off. Roan also mentions about a Golden Thief Bug. The duo goes underground and finds a Poring asking for help. It seems its master is being surrounded by a group of bugs. Roan frees the girl by using Magnum Break on the bugs. The girl introduces herself as Maya-Chan or Ma-Chan the Merchant. As they are traveling, Roan gets angry with Maya and she dashes off. Maya reaches the other end of the dungeon and then accidentally steps on the Golden Thief Bug. Roan fights the bug, and is almost hit before Yuufa casts Increased Agility on him. The bug spurts fire, which causes the party to fall. The bug wounds roan, but Yuufa is unable to heal him because she is out of MP. The bug hits the wall and the wall crumbles separating Maya from the duo. Maya finds a MP recovery potion and gets her Poring to splash the potion onto Yuufa. Yuufa casts heal on Roan, and Roan impales the bug just in time. Roan gets a Golden Thief Bug card as a result of beating the bug. In another scene, Illuga, the assassin, and his female archer companion, Judia, are faced with a group of orcs. Illuga attacks the leader and cuts his mask into two, but finds Keough, Yuufa’s dead brother facing him. The orcs and their leader leave the scene.
Ragnarok Episode 3 – I Believe in Her
The opening scene shows Roan, Yuufa and Keough fleeing from the dungeon of Glast Heim. As they reach the gate, they meet a Dark Knight. Keough parries a blow from the Dark Knight and Illuga lends his aid. Keough however asks Illuga to bring the others to safety and as Illuga takes them out of the gate, Keough is killed by the Dark Knight. Back in the present, the trio reaches Geffen Tower. They find the city full of wounded adventurers and people hiding in their houses by noon. It seems a ghost haunts the dungeon and that many adventurers have tried conquering the dungeon but ended up wounded. The trio decides to enter the dungeon and they meet up with Takius at the entrance. Takius is uneasy traveling with Maya as she seems out for self-profit only. The team is attacked by multiple giant spiders and just as a group is defeated, a Whisper appears. Roans weapon is ineffective against the Whispers and the team gets trapped by the Whispers and Spiders. Maya escapes using Butterfly wings. The team gets angry with Maya for leaving them, but Maya reappears with a Fire Imbued Sword. Roan uses the sword to free himself from the spider webs, and defeats the Spiders and Whispers. The team then leaves the dungeon to recuperate before their next attempt on the dungeon.
Ragnarok Episode 4 – Is That Your Strength?
The series starts with an explanation of the town of Geffenia. It seems that the city collapsed from earth shaking lightning all in one night. No one knows what happened. Some magicians gathered and rebuilt a new city called Geffen. But it is rumored that under the city, hatred from prior lives appears in the form of doppelgangers and nightmares.
The team ventures once more into Geffen Dungeon. This time, with the flame sword, Roan is more prepared. When the Whispers turn invisible, Yuufa casts Ruwach to reveal their location, and Roan and Takius make short work of the Whispers. A Pumpkin Jack appears from a corner and chases Maya. The team follows Maya and ends up in the former Geffenia town. Using increased agility, Roan defeats the Pumpkin, and the team ends up at the entrance of the gate where the ghosts sleep. Takius opens the gate, and a Nightmare appears. At the same time, Roan is separated from the party and is confronted by a Doppelganger. As Roan is battling this creature, Illuga appears and defeats the Doppleganger. Judia aids Takius and defeats the Nightmare.
Ragnarok Episode 5 – What Did You Just Say?
The scene starts with Illuga and Keough battling against a Goat Minotaur Baphomet, and Illuga wounding the Minotaur’s left eye. The party journeys to Prontera. While Yuufa wanders off to get water for the party, she is attacked by Baphomet. Roan, Takius and Illuga try to fight Baphomet, but is unable to fend against the Minotaur. The archer wounds Baphomet, but that was a mere scratch to the beast. The archer distracts the Minotaur with her eagle companion, and traps the Minotaur. The Minotaur breaks free easily. Finally the team meets Baphomet straight on, but not knowing that Roan is on a tree waiting to pounce on Baphomet’s other eye, Roan catches the beast unaware. Just before Roan’s blade strikes, a whip from a Dark Elf entangles Roan’s hands, saving Baphomet from being wounded. Baphomet leaves the scene without further encounter with the party and tells the Dark Elf not to compare him with her owner. At a resting place, the archer asks Illuga if the person they met earlier and the person Baphomet mentioned was the same person Keough. Yuufa queries Illuga on whether her brother is alive but Illuga stays silent.
